Here is a brief video report about a Virginia World War II Congressional Medal of Honor winner who is fighting to keep the right to raise the American Flag on his flagpole every day. Ninety year-old Van Barfoot has been told by his homeowner's association the flagpole has to go. He intends to keep putting up his flag no matter what. Barfoot is a veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. A decision is expected next week.

Since he has such a distinguished service record, and there are so very few of them in the country, I think there should be an exception made because he is exceptional. How’s that. Seems like such a shame to be on your way out of this world and have to suffer such angst.

About Freedom's Lighthouse

Freedom's Lighthouse is dedicated to being a blog of record for the political history of the United States of America. The United States is "Freedom's Lighthouse" in a world where the light of freedom is not found in many places. We will record that history - past and present - with a great emphasis on video, and will also mix in some of the nation's top sports and cultural news. In all we do we will seek to uphold the conservative principles that have made America "Freedom's Lighthouse."
